Borrowed from the Boy



Sweater (borrowed from my guy).  Current/Elliot Boyfriend Jeans.  Prada Heels (crushing on these).  
3.1 Phillip Lim Satchel.  J.Crew Necklace.  Chanel Sunglasses.

I've packed up most of my clothes in preparation for our move next week and so when in need of a sweater to wear to brunch I found myself rummaging through my guy's side of the closet. I'm actually pretty sure I wear this cashmere sweater of his more often then he does. Oversized knits and loose fitting denim (the more holes the better) are the perfect combination for days spent in cozy cafes and would hands down be my outfit of choice most days of the week. Simply add a sparkly bauble and wedge sandals to take the look from sloppy to effortlessly cool!

Oh, yes yes and yes. Why am I getting an editorial vibe from this picture? Is it me or does Alicia make even the Starbucks cup look chic (lol) Borrowing a mans sweater and making it look effortless with a statement necklace, oh yes, my kinda girl!

Isnt it so much fun wearing your guys clothes?! I love it...that is one of the ups to dating a guy only a couple inches taller than you and that is in such great shape. Almost everything of his I can wear and still look cute!

Isn't it nice when you can borrow your guy's clothes? It's like doubling the size of your wardrobe lol. Great outfit!

Keep calm and carry lipstick.

Ahh, I love how much the necklace and the (gorrrrgeous) heels dress up this super casual outfit! Such a cute look! Good luck with the move! Exciting!

Exceedingly cute! Haven't had a boyfriend in so long, I've forgotten how great it is to raid their wardrobes. Tee hee!

Cher said...

I love the sweater and the necklace with the bag! I'd wear that in a heartbeat when fall comes, however, I'm not that brave yet to wear boyfriend jeans... I'm afraid they'll make my bottom half look stocky!
